Agreed they didn’t explain that one’s facial hair grows in all kinds of directions

A couple of tips: the shaver was pulling down their neck which is one of the pro moves you can do with a straight razor: direction of hair growth doesn't matter and you won't get razor burn either direction you shave; Practice practice practice and you will still nick yourself occasionally. Just know that unless you really aren't trying (like shut your eyes and swing away) it is unlikely that you'll do any lasting damage. "Take care of your gear", well that mostly means do not, don't ever touch your edge on anything besides your face or your strop. Or, you'll be back to the knife shop to take out the dings which will always cause nicks if you don't. If you are careful with your blade, you'll still ding it up until you learn that it's a critical fail and you really have to pay attention. I have been shaving with a straight edge for about 5 years, and now pretty consistently no nicks and I don't have to think about it anymore. I have saved some money overall without having to replace cartridges (and, inevitably, the handle which gets funky after a couple of years) but I also don't have to throw anything away which is nice. Really smooth skin too. Good luck and get after it!

@@mitchallen5819 regular stropping (with a leather strop) each time you shave is sufficient. Don't try to put an edge on (don't use a stone ever) because if it gets dull or dinged you'll want a professional to tune it up. Damascus steel is neat to look at, can be very hard, tough and hold an edge well. However any Bengal process steel is more than sufficient, remember that the state of the art in straight razors was reached over a hundred years ago. In fact, I only have vintage blades (my two favorites are from the 1920's). Good luck!

Did my first straight shave. It was so cool. I think I'll switch to it. I love how don't need pressure, and how the hair just falls off. I was a little nervous but I only nicked myself once, on an uneven part on my cheek.

Hi there. Switching hands might be the easiest. However, if you aren’t confident in your other hand, you can reach across your face. For this, you can use your left hand to stretch the skin tight while your right hand handles the blade and shave. For your second question, reverse shaving is always an option, but this is heavily dependent on you and your skin. If your skin is sensitive or prone to ingrown hairs, this may cause a lot of irritation. In that case, we would recommend reapplying some shave cream and going over the area again in the same direction with the same technique.

It depends on the type of straight edge razor that you purchased. Some have replaceable blades. A lot of times Barbers such as myself will by the old fashioned two edged blades and break them in half and use them that way. Or you buy straight edge razor that's you sharpen by using a strop. A strop is a piece of leather that you used to see attached to the old-fashioned barber chairs that you draw the blade up and down on to sharpen it kind of in the idea of the way that you would sharpen a knife.

I'm at an age that when I drop something I don't immediately pick it up but consider first whether I still need it. Always fearful of wasting time, I dropped out of school...and began shaving only when my beard bugged me. The disposable clogged more and more as I got older and I spent more time Un-clogging the razor than shaving. Something had to be done! To those who cannot comprehend why a man would risk his life shaving with a straight razor, when there are safer options, I offer this; the saving of time. Once, every two weeks, I plow through the copper wire-like stubble growing from my hansom face with just the right tool; an un-cloggable single blade. Time, not money. The time I spent earning what it took to buy the razor, stones, strop, microscope, I consider well spent - as that time was part of foolish youth. Beyond time and money. Those of us who prepare a blade to peel our face might not be brighter, happier or more 'together', but we are fewer - and that's enough for me.

As I got older, I went through acne and chicken pox, so my face got less smooth and my facial hair got tougher, so those didn't cut it anymore. I switched to a safety razor, which got the job done better and I got fewer razor bumps, but I decided I want a razor that'll last years without having to buy new blades, so I asked for a straight razor for Christmas. I used it last night for the first time and while I didn't get a single cut (which was my biggest fear) it wasn't very sharp either, so I alternated between it and my safety razor. I used my strop afterward and will invest in a whetstone.

You had 3 different ways of holding it lol.

I wish they showed him actually shaving the hair this looks like hes shaving pre shaved skin

Nearly visited the Cremo website; then I realised the video is fake and he's obviously shaved once or twice before using the prop to scrape foam off his already shaved face for the video. Shame.

It takes some practice, but it's worth it. It makes for the smoothest shave.😉

These never work for me, I've had a few but none of them actually cut hair. The modern Gillette razors do a much better job
